Fortunately young and older people around the United States love to hear great tunes which will always accompany a television series or movie. Residents of Tucson AZ watch METV to hear spectacular science fiction music every Saturday evening. This station has broadcast "Lost In Space" "Space 1999" and "Star Trek" for many years. They will continue to air these unique shows until the end of time.
During the 1960's Gene Roddenberry created a hit series titled "Star Trek" which dealt with a Captain and his crew who were exploring outer space for several years. At the start of this show William Shatner would say a few words before a daring tune would start playing. People all over the world are familiar with this sound which was created by Alexander Courage who was a great musician during his time.
Every person around America also like the short tunes that Alexander added to this series whenever the Captain or his crew were in some sort of danger. Nowadays younger people also whistle the "Star Trek" theme whenever they are playing adventure games or doing any other types of activities.
Later on the producers decided to go with another style of music when they created the next series which was called "The Next Generation." The show "Space 1999" took a newer approach when it created the opening theme for this unique series which was filmed in England.
Many people thought that this series was great even though the supporting cast of actors were unknown to the American audience. Martin Landau and Barbara Bain had left the United States to star on this particular show after their time on "Mission Impossible." The two also did this series for financial gains.
Composer Barry Gray made sure to give "Space 1999" an exciting intro that the viewers would not forget for a very long time. During the opening credits the audience is treated to scenes which would happen during the episode. This was the first time that a series had ever taken this approach. Even though this show only lasted for two seasons it has now become a cult classic that Americans really love and adore.
For three seasons many people tuned in to watch a series called "Lost In Space" which dealt with a family who had many adventures away from Earth. John Williams took the time to compose a great tune for the series when it first went on the air. The opening showed the actors in cartoon form for the first two years and this was also a unique approach for a brand new series. The final year of this show was completely different and even did a countdown at the show's start.
Viewers were now able to see the faces of the actual actors who were starring within the show. This was a way that everyone could actually see Guy Williams, June Lockhart, Johnathan Harris, Mark Gooddard, Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright and Billy Mummy. The tune was very upbeat and really made human beings jump for joy. Unfortunately this was the last season of the show since the ratings had slipped. Mr. John Williams also created the theme for the motion picture "Star Wars" during the 1970's and this was one of his greatest accomplishments.
